Common Skin and Ear Conditions in Pets

Both cats and dogs can develop a wide range of dermatologic and ear issues. Some conditions are straightforward to treat, while others may require more in-depth diagnostic testing and management protocols.

We frequently care for pets with:

  • Ear infections and ear disease

  • Bacterial or fungal skin infections

  • Skin parasites and ear mites

  • Dry, itchy, or flaky skin

  • Hair loss and bald patches

  • Hot spots and open sores

  • Rashes, lumps, or bumps

  • Autoimmune or inflammatory skin conditions

  • Allergies affecting skin or ears

Pets with allergies may show recurring ear infections, constant scratching, licking paws, red or irritated skin, and changes in their coat. Allergies can be triggered by food ingredients, pollen, dust, environmental irritants, and other factors.
